George Ruto, the son of President William Ruto, has captured national attention—not for politics or publicity, but for quietly changing lives. In a touching tribute that went viral, Nairobi businesswoman Wanja Nyarari revealed how George personally sponsored travel and documentation for 30 job-seeking youths headed to Dubai.
She described George as “a man of action, not noise,” highlighting his humility and direct impact without seeking attention.
Earlier this year, Wanja shared job openings in Dubai through her online platforms. George reached out privately and offered to fully sponsor 30 deserving youths. He paid for their passports, police clearance, visa applications, air tickets, and even return fare.
“He didn’t do it for PR or political points. He just helped,” Wanja noted.
The young Kenyans have since arrived in the UAE and secured contracts in logistics and hospitality sectors, with confirmation from Kenya’s Labour Attaché in the UAE.
While George is popularly known for his interest in decorated matatus like Mood, Wanja’s story reveals a quieter, philanthropic side of him. She praised his values and work ethic, describing him as grounded despite his privileged background.
“He’s not trying to trend. He’s trying to transform,” Wanja added.
With over 2 million unemployed youth in Kenya, the demand for foreign job placements is growing rapidly. Gulf countries like the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia continue to request workers in aviation, hospitality, and construction.
The government, through the Ministry of Labour, is also pushing for private sector collaborations to ensure safe and structured migration for Kenyan workers.
George Ruto’s silent intervention has set an example in leadership and philanthropy. As unemployment bites deeper, his act has proven that solutions don’t always need a microphone; they need action.
